I had a complete breakdown in front of cousins and my daughter. So bad she thought she would need to take me to the hospital. She saw and my kids are concerned and realizing Mom is breaking down and although they are all busy professionals they will have to pay attention.
Can’t wear the mask anymore.
My body and mind are breaking down.
I am looking for someone to be here two days a week so I can have peace of mind the. I’m gone for the day and would love to get away by myself a few days.
A zen retreat would be nice;)
So those things you have heard from family- tell them how that feels. Cry in front of them. A nervous breakdown can be a nervous breakthrough.
That’s how it felt with my daughter and words were ugly before we hugged each other and cried.
Can’t keep it a.secret and can’t pretend this is not horrible.
Bless you. All those comments had to hurt.

I'm so sorry it had to come to this for family to realize how bad things have become.

My sister lives too far away to provide hands on help but provided some suggestions for activities i can buy that hubby might enjoy. But instead of leaving me with one more thing to do, she ordered it and is having it delivered to me today. Much better than those who simply tell me what I should do. I am so grateful for her!

Sometimes you feel like you are on a deserted island and need to be rescued. I spoke to my daughter about coming by to seat with her Dad for a couple of hours. I am still waiting.
